Education is supposed to juice your curiosity, not diminish or sate it.

About this quote

The best education protects curiosity by feeding it with better questions instead of closing inquiry too early.

When to use it

  • Before the next class, end each research session with one question that the assigned material did not answer.
  • Use the same principle on one difficult subject: end each research session with one question that the assigned material did not answer, then note what changed.
  • Try it with a classmate or study group: end each research session with one question that the assigned material did not answer, and compare the result at the end of the week.
